A decent compromise for discontinued skin tints

I am 40 years old. No filter used, wearing ONLY one layer of skin tint. I have fine lines and large pores. I am prone to occasional hormonal acne and have combination skin with slightly drier cheeks.Let's break it down...Color gets 5 stars.The color match for my light olive complexion is perfect, and that is unusual for me. I am wearing the shade ST4, which is extremely similar to Beautyblender's Bounce Skin Tint Light 4, as well as my discontinued holy grail, L'ancome Skin Feels Good in 15N Blonde Pecan.Coverage gets 4 stars. It is definitely buildable coverage and goes on fairly even with fingers. I have not tried a brush or sponge just yet, so I assume I will get even better results. It does a great job of camouflaging my pores as well as my dark circles; ... MoreI am 40 years old. No filter used, wearing ONLY one layer of skin tint. I have fine lines and large pores.

It does a great job of camouflaging my pores as well as my dark circles; mind you, this is Without concealer. This is definitely a casual tint, not like the Beautyblender Bounce Skin Tint, which is much more opaque and what I now use as a sole go-to foundation, actually.Formula gets 4 stars. Almost perfect, but not quite. There is a little too much SPF which makes it on the SLIGHT greasy side when you first put it on, however it's not NEARLY as much as the grease-bomb skin tint recently released by Fenty (which makes you feel like you're basting your head for Thanksgiving, yuck). The good news is that it does dry after 10 minutes & is less sticky.Finish gets 3.5 stars. I feel like this can be improved by lowering the SPF dose, oh so slightly, to maybe 15-20. If you like a dewy finish, then this is certainly for you. I usually prefer semi-matte and hate dewy, but this one is decent enough where I will definitely wear it. I also have no choice now that Skin Feels Good is definitely being discontinued because I've now, at this point, literally tried every single skin tint that exists in both Sephora and Ulta. I am not even kidding.Overall, this is the ONLY skincare-grade tint product other than Beautyblender, that Sephora stocks, that isn't a hot, streaky, greasy mess.

Dewy Light Coverage with SPF

Ilia’s Super Serum Skin Tint is a really nice light coverage product with a dewy finish. I normally prefer applying foundation with a damp beauty blender, but the directions say to dispense a quarter-sized amount into your palms and apply like a serum. I like that it includes SPF 40 sunscreen so that I don’t have to layer another product onto my skin especially if it gets hot out. I also like that it contains niacinamide, plant-based squalane, and hyaluronic acid for added skincare benefits. However, I wonder how much my skin actually gets of those benefits because normally you put serums on underneath moisturizer so that your skin can absorb it better, but I would think a skin tint is applied after moisturizer.

The photo on the left is my bare skin and the photo on the right is with both the Super Serum Skin Tint and Skin Rewind Complexion Stick. I also love that Ilia is certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny, so I feel good knowing no animals were tested on.

Favorite skin tint, natural and radiant

I love this skin tint, it’s my favorite tint I’ve tried so far. I love that it’s vegan, natural, and doesn’t contain silicone or harmful ingredients. It comes in a minimalistic bottle with an easy to use dropper. I use a few drops and blend into my skin either using a buffing brush or my fingers. It feels like a skin serum and has a slight scent reminiscent of a natural seed or oil but it dissipates quickly. I don’t even notice it after a few minutes after application. The niacinamide helps smooth out texture and the addition of squalane and Hyaluronic acid leaves your skin hydrated, glowy, dewy and so beautiful. Looks natural and as if you’re glowing from within. You can even build up the coverage a tad and it doesn’t feel heavy but super lightweight on the skin. I ... MoreI love this skin tint, it’s my favorite tint I’ve tried so far.

You can even build up the coverage a tad and it doesn’t feel heavy but super lightweight on the skin. I barely notice I have anything on. I have the shade ST5 Bom Bom and the shade match was wonderful for me, the neutral undertone is perfect. It managed to cover a few acne spots I had and is great to cover up the redness of my rosacea. I do set with a fine powder as I have combo skin and get oily throughout the day. It doesn’t sink into fine lines or accentuate texture even throughout wear. It’s so lovely for everyday wear and for evenings out. I’ve been more focused toward skincare makeup and my skin has been thanking me. This fit right up my alley and is a perfect addition to my makeup collection. I love that this contains SPF 40 as I appreciate the extra coverage on top of the sunscreen I normally use. The hydrating formula makes it perfect for use in both the winter and summer months. The former when my skin needs the extra hydration and the latter when I love to opt for a dewy summer look. I loved this skin tint and cannot have my kit without it. Not a surprise to me, I have yet another ILIA favorite I use for everyday wear.10/10 favorite skin tint, I reach for it over other formulas I’ve tried. It wears beautifully throughout the day. I set with powder and a setting spray. Lasts all night long. I have rosacea and sensitive skin and my skin does not react whatsoever which among the long list of positives is my absolute favorite. Must have and a definite repurchase.

Good But Too Many Drawbacks

I received the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint in the shade Rendezvous ST1 from PinchMe in exchange for my honest review. I had really high hopes for this product and I do like it but I just don't love it because there are too many weird quirks with it. Although it does not contain fragrance, it does have a scent - assuming this comes from the ingredients in the product. It is a little funky but not awful - but you do notice it especially if you use the skin tint around your nose area. It really doesn't dissipate at all. This is a perfect shade match for me - I have very fair skin with a rosy cool undertone so I was happy with the color match. It goes on very easily, it's lightweight but it is glowy. I have combination skin and it does say it's oil-free and ... MoreI received the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint in the shade Rendezvous ST1 from PinchMe in exchange for my honest review.

I have combination skin and it does say it's oil-free and non-comedogenic so win-win but it's not a natural or matte finish, it does give some radiance which in my T-zone...eh not the best for my skin type. I found I had to powder pretty quickly after applying the skin tint to tone down the shine. It's probably gorgeous on dry/normal skin. It did blend well and did not sit on top of my skin when using it with a brush and then a sponge to further blend it in. However, it does not play well with other products. It starts to pill up quite quickly over just a moisturizer, whether it was applied an hour before or just before the product, it didn't matter. It did the same with my sunscreen and started to really ball up, even though I let the sunscreen set down for 30 minutes. I do like the light coverage and lightweight serum nature but can't wholeheartedly recommend this because of these issues. If you can look past the scent, the pilling, and the glow factor, you might love this, but for $48 I feel like you can find other skin tints (like Fenty!) that don't have these drawbacks.

My new best friend and they are here to STAY!!!

I have been using this product for about 3 weeks now and I am pleasantly surprised at how great this product works. What are the things that I noticed is in the directions it says to apply it onto your hands which I did but I did not like it. I felt that it made too much of a mess. I started to add it on my beauty blender and apply it directly onto the skin. I think that the color matches my skin perfectly. I like that it looks a little bit light of the skin, but that it seems to really blended to your skin tone. I think it's so cool that you're able to have this super serum and it's a skin tint to match your skin tone. And it also has the broad spectrum SPF 40 sunscreen to help with protecting your skin while you're out in the sun. I really like the ingredients ... MoreI have been using this product for about 3 weeks now and I am pleasantly surprised at how great this product works.

And it also has the broad spectrum SPF 40 sunscreen to help with protecting your skin while you're out in the sun. I really like the ingredients that it has niacinamide squalane and hyaluronic acid. I definitely like the fact that even though this is a tinted serum, you can still use it as very light coverage to help with those blemishes on your skin or just to give your skin a more even look to it. The other thing that I really love about this product is that it keeps the skin moisturized, so you don't have to worry about it caking up in any way It gives your skin a really beautiful dewy natural glow to it. It makes my skin look the way that I wish it would look. It makes my skin more even. I like that. It's very subtle but at the same time gives me the coverage in places that I want to cover like my dark spots and imperfections. This is a product that is definitely going to be a new staple in my routine. I'm so glad that I was able to find the exact product that matches my exact skin tone. I still want to experiment using different colors only because it blends to your skin tone. Anyways. The only thing that I would recommend is that when you apply it definitely use your beauty blender or a brush. Do not use your hands because I feel like you're wasting product and you're going to have product on your hands.

Only foundation I've ever WANTED to put on my face

I've avoided foundation for years because of the sensory experience on my face (sticky, itchy, chemical smell, etc.) and often defaulted to some concealer under my eyes instead. Bought this on an employees recommendation and, although initially it hit those sensory issues (minus itchy), it only lasts for a few minutes and has overall been a game changer in my routine. I really like how it mimics my natural skin, takes less product to provide more coverage, and is a clean product. I'm not the best at washing my face at the end of the day (aka nearly always sleep in my makeup), but this both doesn't stain my sheets and keeps my skin beautiful in the morning. I tend to have a red nose and this covers better and more naturally than any other product I've tried, too, and ... MoreI've avoided foundation for years because of the sensory experience on my face (sticky, itchy, chemical smell, etc.) and often defaulted to some concealer under my eyes instead.

I tend to have a red nose and this covers better and more naturally than any other product I've tried, too, and seems to keep my nose redness down even when I'm not wearing it. I've never had a foundation that's made my skin more beautiful after use. With the added benefit of SPF and a better texture than any other sunscreen I was using before, I'm hooked. My only complaint is the smell isn't my favorite (not chemically, but not pleasant either), but, again, that only lasts for about 5-10 minutes until it dries and the benefits far outweigh this small issue. Highly recommend this to a Ron Swanson degree (aka, “I won't publicly endorse a product unless I use it exclusively.").

Oxidizes and on the oilier side

I used a bottle of the Ilia Super Serum Skin Tint SPF30 in shade 1 Rendezvous. It was usable but could have been so much better. I am ultra-fair with cool and de-saturated undertones (my best match was the discontinued CT Magic Foundation in Fair 00 (the new replacement CT Beautiful Skin shade 1 is way too dark and yellow) , lately have used Hauslabs Triclone Foundation in 015; Nars Sheer Glow in shade Oslo oxidizes a shade or two too dark on me). There is enough pigment in this product for dewy medium coverage but I was underwhelmed by how much the Ilia Skin Tint Oxidized on me - it went on quite suitable a colour but turned a darker orange in no time.

My other issue with this skin tint was that the oily consistency was super dewy to the point that I looked like I'd sweated profusely only 15 minutes after application unless I dabbed my face with a tissue - a feat that you'd like to avoid with an SPF product. If you're oily, I would not choose this - it was already a bit much for my combo skin. YouTuber Morgan Turner said in her video that she mixes this product with her less hydrating base products to make them more moisturizing, which may indeed be a good hack for the drier-skinned people. However, that won't give you the mineral SPF30 benefit of this product, which is why I bought it in the first place. Also, I would not be able to use this product as a mixer because I would need a shade that was a lot lighter.

Thought I loved this but it was the cause of my breakouts!

I've been using this product consistently since last summer because I liked that it was skincare, makeup and sunscreen in one and made my skin look good. During this time I started to struggle with acne breakouts along my chin and nose. I attributed these to hormones and stress and did my best to keep them at bay. I used this product every morning after washing my face in order to hide the spots and mask the redness. I even used it on my wedding day as a sunscreen base and to help conceal the giant pimples on my chin.Fast forward several months and I found myself consistently complaining to my husband about how my acne and breakouts won't go away even though I was doing everything right and using non skin clogging products. As a suggestion, he said I should start ... MoreI've been using this product consistently since last summer because I liked that it was skincare, makeup and sunscreen in one and made my skin look good.

As a suggestion, he said I should start to go make up free (aka not use Ilia skin tint) to help my skin. So I tried and it and within a week my usually zitty chin cleared up. Because I didn't believe it, I tried using the skin tint again and within two days I had three new pimples.Here's my theory: from research and reviews I can generally see that the product works for most. The product is branded as non-com. (Aka safe for acne prone skin) but for us super acne prone people there ARE ingredients that can be super skin clogging such as Isopropyl I sostearate and Polyglyceryl-3 Diisosterate. An emollient and emulsifier. The product is also very sticky and hard to wash off with just normal facial cleanser. So my hunch is that because I was wearing it a lot (I thought it was helping!) and was not double cleansing with oil or makeup remover to get it off, it was causing havoc to my pores.It's a cool product and seems to work for most but since I've stopped using it in my routine my skin looks soooo much better. I really loved this product and trusted the cleanness of the brand but personally won't use it again. Others on Reddit have confirmed my experiences with it.
